Understanding the construction of the personal self is a vital in creating our personal concept.

This personal or self-concept pertains to the image and belief that an individual believes of
himself/herself. Generally, it is a mental image that a person thinks of him/her based on the attributes
that he/she have. But, before an individual achieves to develop his/her self-concept, what are the
aspects that are needed to be discovered and understood? Are these aspects relevant and important
from one another?

Yes, indeed, there are aspects that affects the personal development of an individual. These
aspects may be familiar, as it signifies every aspects in a person’s life and basically, the factors that
contributes to the identity of one self. This includes the physical, mental, emotional, social, and the
spiritual aspects of a person. Now, do they correlate to each other? Yes, indeed. The relevance that lies
between these aspects is direct. It can actually be similar to the butterfly effect. This means that one
aspect can directly affect the other. For example, a scenario where a physically disabled person is being
bullied by his classmates can actually illustrate this correlation. Being a disabled person can actually be a
great factor that could greatly affect the other aspects. Because he lacks a physical ability, he can is
subjected to bullying and that could actually result to emotional distress and self-doubt. In this part, we
can already see the relevance of each aspects, as the physically disabled person experiences
discrimination, he also experiences a mental battle which causes his stir on his mental state. Upon
having mental distress, the boy, at the same time, also experiences emotional disturbance that would
greatly affect his emotional stability. As expected from a person who experiences this kind of
disturbances, then he would initially detach himself from social acquaintances and at the end, would
also affect his spiritual aspect. By this, we can really say that every aspects of our do matter and is a
great factor that envelopes our capacity in building the image for our self.

In conclusion, understanding the aspects and how they are closely related to each other paves a
pathway where we can see the importance of each one of them. Every aspect helps us not only to give
us the attributes we have today, but to help us to achieve the ideal self that we have for our own
personal self.
